The Fight

The Fight


I fight with you daily
Taking pill after pill
Wondering if you will ever finally kill
Then I realize; you already have

You’ve killed my body
You’ve killed my mind
You’ve killed my ambitions, hopes and dreams

But I keep on fighting you
In hopes that you won’t kill my soul
Although you are close

You’ve stopped me from life
You’ve stopped me from having kids
You’ve stopped me from going out,
Having fun 
You’ve even stopped me from caring…
About what you ask?
About my mind, my body and my life

You are nothing but trouble
Everyday that you strike
You come out of nowhere 
Causing me to cry
Causing me to fight
Causing me to want to die

Who would do such a thing?
Who would cause so much pain?
Who would follow me around?
Destroying my life?

Who would do such a thing?
Endometriosis is who!
